The Bible instructs husbands to love their wives as Christ loves the Church and as they love their own bodies, providing an example of sacrifice and a warning against neglect. Addressing this challenging, yet straightforward, directive, Alistair Begg provides husbands with practical application on how to think and act in obedience to God by selflessly loving their wives.

A cartoon Cupid with a quiver full of arrows may make us chuckle, but buying into the concept of being “love-struck” can be harmful—especially if we don’t think beyond fleeting emotions to the fulfillment of the roles God has established for husband and wife.

Ephesians 5 contains instructions for wives and husbands, but it applies to every Christian, married or single. In this sermon, Alistair Begg explains that the love commanded of husbands denotes self-sacrifice rather than self-interest, providing a safeguard against both tyranny and abdication. By walking in obedience to God’s Word, Christians and Christian marriages will be a beacon for the Gospel as they reflect Christ’s selfless love for His bride, the Church. (Watch Part Two)

What does it mean to love as Christ loved? In Ephesians 5:25-27, Paul called husbands to the self-sacrificing devotion demonstrated by Jesus as the bridegroom to the Church. While we love in response to loveliness, Alistair Begg points out that Jesus loved in order to make us lovely. Restraining selfish ambition for the personal growth and spiritual beauty of another proclaims the Gospel and glorifies God. (Watch Part One)

While a witty romantic comedy may make for casual date night material, the characters and plotlines probably don’t provide the most suitable examples for what to look for or expect in a spouse or marriage.

The Bible is recognized as the world’s best-selling and most widely distributed book. Yet there are many who declare its contents outdated, and more still who question its very authority. How, and why, should a believer’s view differ?

What does it mean to be a Christian? How does faith in Jesus make a difference in a believer’s daily experience? In this series of sermons, Alistair Begg addresses these questions by exploring Romans 8 from the perspective of one who is already in Christ. As Jesus’ finished work on the cross is applied in our lives, we receive a new freedom to make choices that please our heavenly Father—and the indwelling Holy Spirit’s power enables us to walk in those choices. We think differently because of our new identity in Christ, knowing that hardships and suffering have a purpose in God’s ultimate plan. Since we are in Christ by His grace, there is no condemnation; and since we are kept by His eternal love, there is no separation between us and Him forever.

It’s that time of year again, when hearts and flowers bedeck boxes of chocolates and romance abounds. But for those of us who want to give serious attention to what makes a relationship last, we need to look beyond the greeting card aisle.

Judging from the appearance of candy conversation hearts on store shelves, it would seem that love is in the air. Certainly there’s more to the conversation of meaningful relationships than sweet nothings, though.

When I was a boy growing up in Scotland, we regularly sang and memorized many of the Psalms at school. Learning from the Psalms forms a framework for understanding who God is so that when we read passages like “Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!” or “Come into his presence with singing!” or “Give thanks to him; bless his name!” (which are from Psalm 100), we have greater insight into what these words truly mean.
